Each year God's Love We Deliver hosts Authors in Kind, our literary luncheon. Friends and supporters of God's Love We Deliver, and some of New York's most avid readers, gather for an intimate reception, discussion and book signing. Guests meet the authors and have books signed. After a fun meet-and-greet, guests then enjoy a luncheon during which the authors entertain attendees with stories about themselves and the books they have written.

The 15th Annual Authors in Kind will be held on April 25. Authors in Kind features a book signing reception with noted writers, followed by a fun and informative luncheon during which the authors speak about their recent work. This year, we are delighted to welcome author, God's Love Board member and event emcee Linda Fairstein; Pulitzer-prize winner Jennifer Egan and her new book Manhattan Beach; Jeffrey Banks and his new book about the fashion designer Norman Norell entitled Norell: Master of American Fashion; and Alex Guarnaschelli and her latest cookbook The Home Cook: Recipes to Know by Heart.
